...contextual factors that this programme on Managerial Effectiveness is being conducted. Managerial Effectiveness is often defined in terms of output - what a manager achieves. This result oriented definition leads us to look for the factors that contribute towards the “results”. Studies find three factors to be responsible for the results that an organization achieves through its managers. These are: (a) the efforts and ability of the managers, (b) the environment in which the managers and the organization operates, and (c) the efforts and ability of the subordinates. Thus, the managers’ ability is the key element in achieving the desired results. This programme on Managerial Effectiveness focuses by and large on the managerial ability of Managing Self, Managing Subordinates & Relationships (which can enhance subordinates’ ability), Managing Change and Decision Making (which requires the managers to understand the environment in which she/he and her/his organization operates).

...Homework #3: Airbnb Case Study 1. What is Airbnb’s current value proposition? Airbnb is a consumer-to-consumer platform that helps people find accommodation for short term rentals. Airbnb’s current value proposition is that it can offer hosts a chance to earn money from their house or spare room; for the renters, they can feel more comfortable and more at home with paying less money than most hotels. Airbnb focuses on personalizing the guest experience and creating a great value proposition for traveler and host. It describes its measures of success to be social and economic. Figure 1 shows the cost between hotels and Airbnb. Airbnb apartments that are similar to hotel rooms show considerable savings in most major markets, which is 21% cheaper than a hotel. Figure 1 http://priceonomics.com/hotels/ 2. What is Airbnb’s biggest current opportunity? Airbnb’s biggest current opportunity is the potential market that Airbnb has not impacted on. To seek the potential market, Airbnb can develop new market and grow market share. For example, Africa is a good place for the expansion of Airbnb. Africa--like Cuba, where Airbnb is also growing fast--presents the company with a singular opportunity: There are too few budget and mid-priced hotels. [2] Data from two providers, Statista and STR Global, both show that the Middle East and Africa region have the highest average daily rate for a hotel room. Therefore, Airbnb’s cheap price can attract more people to use it. Figure...

...M3 D2 - Two psychological perspectives and their contribution to good practice in care homes The psychodynamic approach has many beneficial aspects when it comes to health care and care services and settings within the UK. This has allowed us to understand how certain things may affect people’s childhood experiences in negative ways and effect their future. It also allows us to understand how people may potentially develop mental health illnesses. Freud stated that mental illnesses can be caused due to disagreement between ID and superego and the overuse of defence mechanisms which could be caused due to bad childhood upbringing. An example would be experiencing abuse as a child or losing a close relative. This helps us today by highlighting the importance and severity of everyone’s childhood and how the protection of children should be priority. This will allow us to decrease the amount of mental health illness cases later on. It has helped the adaption of social services and care services because they have more of an understanding of what to provide and how to care for the child. Also, in schools, it helps us to understand that children may respond with defence mechanisms such as aggression or denial in circumstances that don’t need that response due to the fact that it is their personal way of coping and dealing with what is happening in their private lives e.g. at home. The psychodynamic approach has helped to develop medicine so we are able to have...

...to anyone's life, especially in the life of a young person. As any new situation in life, an exchange also has changes that may be crucial for somebody’s life. Among these changes five are fundamental in my opinion. An exchange program to study and specialize using a language of a foreign country has the opportunity to be a great investment not only to mature in life and can also be a great career move, either for teenagers or young people who attend a university in their own country. Even if the period is one year or even six months, this feature brings aggrandizing your resume with a rich cultural background, and improvement in language skills. On the other hand a person who did not live this experience as much as he wants to do different courses, or even learn new language within their own country, still carries with him that the person never experienced life outside. This adventure also brings opportunity to grow not only professionally, but as a person matures. This new situation face the student alone and outside the country of origin. My older sister for example, had the opportunity to study in Argentina for six months, I remember that during this period she would call home asking my father, if he could require the owner of the property where she was living to arrange the place ideal for heating during winter.

...However, whether the two are representing education’s “perfect pair” or “odd couple” is still being decided as teachers strive to integrate them. At its most fundamental level, scholars who specialize in multicultural education agree that it represents an orientation to schooling and the teaching-learning process that is grounded in the democratic ideals of justice and equality. There is a substantial body of historical and contemporary evidence which demonstrates that schooling experiences of most students of color, as well as many white students from economically poor and politically disempowered backgrounds, are inferior to those provided to white students from middle class and politically dominant backgrounds. Because of this disparity, supporters of multicultural education call for a restructuring of many of the long-standing policies and conventions of public schooling. There are many critical dimensions of multicultural education. The goal of these dimensions is to expand the curriculum by bringing in contributions from diverse cultures into traditional disciplines of study. They are all easily realized through technology. For example, teachers worldwide use the internet to extend available learning resources. E-mail and other multimedia technologies promote communication and interactions between groups of all types, with the purpose of helping students learn more as they study things ranging from social studies to foreign languages. Many educators realize...

...Russian Standard Vodka’s Case Questions: 1. Understanding the sources of brand equity: What are the sources of brand equity of the Russian Standard brand? Why was the brand able to enjoy such rapid success in Russia? One of the main reasons for Russian Standard’s rapid success in its home country in the early 1990’s was Roustam Tariko’s deep knowledge of Russia; its history, culture, and through these, its then current state and consumers. He had the general know-how of the market in the country: Tariko, the founder of the company himself started off by importing foreign liquor brands to the post-soviet era country, where such novelties were still hard-pressed to find. By filling this market gap he got to not only reach incredible levels of profitability, but also hone his merchandising skills and network vastly, before moving from importing to founding his own company, Roust Holdings. Unlike the foreign liquors and spirits Tariko had imported, he wanted to create something “more local” that would resonate with the patriotism of the country. Truly, Russian Standard vodka came to represent upper-class Russian vodka, “strongly associated with the country”, as the case mentions. Additionally, to quote the case study text: “People bought Russian Standard because it was unmistakably Russian and looked reliable.” In other words, a good marketing mix was created for the product. The packaging, pricing, and promotion in addition to the product itself were cleverly planned and...
